The latest company to cut ties with the celebrity chef is Caesars Entertainment Corporation, which runs four Deen-themed restaurants.

Caesars Entertainment Vice President Jan Jones Blackhurst in a statement: "While we appreciate Paula's sincere apologies for statements she made in her past that she recently disclosed during a deposition given in response to a lawsuit, after thoughtful consideration of their impact, we have mutually decided that it is in the best interests of both parties to part ways at this time."

Their four Deen-themed restaurants will thus be re-branded in the coming months.
